PNB Egypt Partner Update

The Coca-Cola Company partnered with the US Embassy to provide scholarships for ten Egyptian high school students to attend a high-level science camp at Johns Hopkins University. Students submitted ideas about how to rebuild Egypt on the Coca-Cola Egypt Facebook page, and those whose ideas generated the most votes were awarded the scholarship. The students will spend one month at Johns Hopkins with others from around the U.S. and the world.

Cisco has announced a $10 million venture capital investment in Egypt, which is aimed at creating a sustainable model of job-creation and economic development.
